1 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων

2 υιε ανθρωπου εν μεσω των αδικιων αυτων συ κατοικεις οι εχουσιν οφθαλμους του βλεπειν και ου βλεπουσιν και ωτα εχουσιν του ακουειν και ουκ ακουουσιν διοτι οικος παραπικραινων εστιν

3 και συ υιε ανθρωπου ποιησον σεαυτω σκευη αιχμαλωσιας ημερας ενωπιον αυτων και αιχμαλωτευθηση εκ του τοπου σου εις ετερον τοπον ενωπιον αυτων οπως ιδωσιν διοτι οικος παραπικραινων εστιν

4 και εξοισεις τα σκευη σου ως σκευη αιχμαλωσιας ημερας κατ' οφθαλμους αυτων και συ εξελευση εσπερας ως εκπορευεται αιχμαλωτος

5 ενωπιον αυτων διορυξον σεαυτω εις τον τοιχον και διεξελευση δι' αυτου

6 ενωπιον αυτων επ' ωμων αναλημφθηση και κεκρυμμενος εξελευση το προσωπον σου συγκαλυψεις και ου μη ιδης την γην διοτι τερας δεδωκα σε τω οικω ισραηλ

7 και εποιησα ουτως κατα παντα οσα ενετειλατο μοι και σκευη εξηνεγκα ως σκευη αιχμαλωσιας ημερας και εσπερας διωρυξα εμαυτω τον τοιχον και κεκρυμμενος εξηλθον επ' ωμων ανελημφθην ενωπιον αυτων

8 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με το πρωι λεγων

9 υιε ανθρωπου ουκ ειπαν προς σε ο οικος του ισραηλ οικος ο παραπικραινων τι συ ποιεις

10 ειπον προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος ο αρχων και ο αφηγουμενος εν ιερουσαλημ και παντι οικω ισραηλ οι εισιν εν μεσω αυτων

11 ειπον οτι εγω τερατα ποιω εν μεσω αυτης ον τροπον πεποιηκα ουτως εσται αυτοις εν μετοικεσια και εν αιχμαλωσια πορευσονται

12 και ο αρχων εν μεσω αυτων επ' ωμων αρθησεται και κεκρυμμενος εξελευσεται δια του τοιχου και διορυξει του εξελθειν αυτον δι' αυτου το προσωπον αυτου συγκαλυψει οπως μη οραθη οφθαλμω και αυτος την γην ουκ οψεται

13 και εκπετασω το δικτυον μου επ' αυτον και συλλημφθησεται εν τη περιοχη μου και αξω αυτον εις βαβυλωνα εις γην χαλδαιων και αυτην ουκ οψεται και εκει τελευτησει

14 και παντας τους κυκλω αυτου τους βοηθους αυτου και παντας τους αντιλαμβανομενους αυτου διασπερω εις παντα ανεμον και ρομφαιαν εκκενωσω οπισω αυτων

15 και γνωσονται διοτι εγω κυριος εν τω διασκορπισαι με αυτους εν τοις εθνεσιν και διασπερω αυτους εν ταις χωραις

16 και υπολειψομαι εξ αυτων ανδρας αριθμω εκ ρομφαιας και εκ λιμου και εκ θανατου οπως εκδιηγωνται πασας τας ανομιας αυτων εν τοις εθνεσιν ου εισηλθοσαν εκει και γνωσονται οτι εγω κυριος

17 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων

18 υιε ανθρωπου τον αρτον σου μετ' οδυνης φαγεσαι και το υδωρ σου μετα βασανου και θλιψεως πιεσαι

19 και ερεις προς τον λαον της γης ταδε λεγει κυριος τοις κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ επι της γης του ισραηλ τους αρτους αυτων μετ' ενδειας φαγονται και το υδωρ αυτων μετα αφανισμου πιονται οπως αφανισθη η γη συν πληρωματι αυτης εν ασεβεια γαρ παντες οι κατοικουντες εν αυτη

20 και αι πολεις αυτων αι κατοικουμεναι εξερημωθησονται και η γη εις αφανισμον εσται και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος

21 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων

22 υιε ανθρωπου τις υμιν η παραβολη αυτη επι της γης του ισραηλ λεγοντες μακραν αι ημεραι απολωλεν ορασις

23 δια τουτο ειπον προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος αποστρεψω την παραβολην ταυτην και ουκετι μη ειπωσιν την παραβολην ταυτην οικος του ισραηλ οτι λαλησεις προς αυτους ηγγικασιν αι ημεραι και λογος πασης ορασεως

24 οτι ουκ εσται ετι πασα ορασις ψευδης και μαντευομενος τα προς χαριν εν μεσω των υιων ισραηλ

25 διοτι εγω κυριος λαλησω τους λογους μου λαλησω και ποιησω και ου μη μηκυνω ετι οτι εν ταις ημεραις υμων οικος ο παραπικραινων λαλησω λογον και ποιησω λεγει κυριος

26 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων

27 υιε ανθρωπου ιδου οικος ισραηλ ο παραπικραινων λεγοντες λεγουσιν η ορασις ην ουτος ορα εις ημερας πολλας και εις καιρους μακρους ουτος προφητευει

28 δια τουτο ειπον προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος ου μη μηκυνωσιν ουκετι παντες οι λογοι μου ους αν λαλησω λαλησω και ποιησω λεγει κυριος

Apocalypse Revealed#350

350. Of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed. (7:5) This symbolizes celestial love, which is love toward the Lord, and this in all those people who will be in the Lord's New Heaven and New Church.

In the highest sense Judah symbolizes the Lord in relation to celestial love; in the spiritual sense, the Lord's celestial kingdom and the Word; and in the natural sense, the doctrine of a celestial church drawn from the Word. Here, however, Judah symbolizes celestial love, which is love toward the Lord; and because it is named first in the series, it symbolizes that love in all those people who will be in the New Heaven and in the Lord's New Church. For the tribe named first is everything in the rest, being to them as though their head and serving as a universal property entering into all those that follow, tying them together, qualifying them and affecting them. This property is love toward the Lord.

To be shown that twelve thousand symbolizes all who possess that love, see no. 348 above.

[2] People know that after the death of Solomon the twelve tribes of Israel were divided into two kingdoms: the kingdom of Judah and the kingdom of Israel. The kingdom of Judah represented the celestial kingdom or the Lord's priestly kingdom, while the kingdom of Israel represented the spiritual kingdom or the Lord's royal kingdom. But the latter was destroyed when the people had nothing spiritual left in them, whereas the kingdom of Judah was preserved, for the sake of the Word, and because the Lord would be born there. However, when the people adulterated the Word completely, and thus could not recognize the Lord, then their kingdom was destroyed.

It can be seen from this that the tribe of Judah symbolizes celestial love, which is love toward the Lord. But because the people were of the character they were with respect to the Word and with respect to the Lord, the tribe of Judah symbolizes also the opposite love, which is love of self - properly speaking, a love of dominating springing from a love of self - a love which we call diabolical love.

[3] The fact that Judah and his tribe symbolize the celestial kingdom and its love, which is love toward the Lord, follows from these passages:

Judah, your brothers shall praise you... The scepter shall not be taken from Judah... until Shiloh comes; and to Him shall be the obedience of the people. Binding his donkey's foal to the vine, his donkey's colt to the choice vine, he washes his garment in wine... His eyes are redder than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk. (Genesis 49:8-12)

...David shall be their prince forever, and I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them..., and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. (Ezekiel 37:25-26)

Exult and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! ...Jehovah will make Judah an inheritance for Himself, His portion on the holy land. (Zechariah 2:10-12)

O Judah, celebrate your feasts, perform your vows. For Belial 1 shall no more pass through you; he is utterly cut off. (Nahum 1:15)

The Lord... will suddenly come to His temple... Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be sweet to Jehovah as in the days of old... (Malachi 3:1, 4)

Judah shall abide forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. (Joel 3:20)

Behold, the days are coming..., that I will raise to David a righteous Branch... In His days Judah will be saved... (Jeremiah 23:5-6)

I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, and from Judah an heir of My mountains, that My elect may possess it... (Isaiah 65:9)

Judah became His sanctuary, and Israel His dominion. (Psalms 114:2)

Behold, the days are coming..., when I will make a new covenant... with the house of Judah... ...this will be the covenant...: I will put My law within them, and write it on their heart... (Jeremiah 31:27, 31, 33-34)

In those days ten men... shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, "We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you." (Zechariah 8:23)

...as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before Me..., so shall your offspring and your name remain.

Kings (of the nations) shall be your foster fathers, their princesses your nursing mothers. They shall bow down to you, their faces to the ground, and lick the dust of your feet. (Isaiah 66:22; 49:23)

[4] From these and many other passages, which we do not have the space to cite because of their number, it can be clearly seen that Judah means not Judah but the church. We are told, for example, that the Lord would make a new and eternal covenant with that nation, that He would make it His heir and His sanctuary forevermore, and that kings of the nations and their princesses would bow down to them, licking the dust of their feet, and so on.

[5] That the tribe of Judah, regarded in itself, means the diabolic kingdom, which is one of a love of dominating springing from a love of self, can be seen from the following passages:

I will hide My face from them, I will see what their posterity will be. ...they are a perverse generation, children in whom is no faith... ...they are a nation void of counsel... ...their vine is of the vine of Sodom and of the fields of Gomorrah; its grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter. Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. Is this not laid up in store with Me, sealed up in My treasuries? (Deuteronomy 32:20-34)

(Know that) it is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart... that Jehovah... is... giving you (the land of Canaan)..., for you are a stiff-necked people. (Deuteronomy 9:5-6)

...according to the number of your cities have been your gods, O Judah... ...according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars... to burn incense to Baal. (Jeremiah 2:28; 11:13)

You are of your father the devil, and you choose to do the desires of your father. (John 8:44)

Jews are said to be full of hypocrisy, iniquity, and uncleanness (Matthew 23:27-28.
